Dane responded and thinks it's likely that this resulted from our running the command as root, which is how it's set up on Open Pipe Kit.

npm does not work correctly when run as root unless you also pass --unsafe-perm npm/npm#3497.

@rjsteinert this will probably be relevant to any OPK driver that uses node-serialport.
